The authentic Federation Queen Anne style limestone and brick residence was built in c. 1905, on land originally owned by the Hon George Throssell. Mr Throssell was a prominent businessman, politician and was the second Premier of Western Australia. He served for just three months, from 15 February to 27 May 1901. Built for Richard & Marian Sparrow to a design by architect George W McMullen and originally known as 'Wedderburn'. The property has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons: the place is a fine example of a well-designed Federation Queen Anne style residence, which retains most of its original external features and the intended qualities of many internal spaces. The place was constructed c.1905 as part of the suburban residential development associated with the expansion of Perth and its outlying suburbs, demonstrates the early residential development of the Hyde Park (known as Third Swamp until 1899) vicinity and provides a visual and historic connection between the suburban development and the establishment of the park.
